Here I am once more a week before my period I can feel the actual shift in my personality. Anxiety high, easily frustrated, in tears even today. Wanting to be left alone. Jumping to ridiculous conclusions. Thinking the worst.

And my concentration is absolutely gone. Presumably because all of the above. This means while I performed well at work last week, I just know next week I will hate everyone and everything and barely have it in me to do good work.

I’ve felt so utterly fucking miserable all night. In ten days I will be fine, enjoying life. I’m so fed up of it and no matter what I try I can’t seem to get a handle on this awful week or so every month

@ChristmasIsComingVerySoon it didn’t work for me, the feelings were still quite strong unfortunately

You can get medication to manage this. Please ask your GP 🙏

Sorry I should have said does anyone have any tips for how to cope better with this? I’m so sick of it

I'm on the pill which means I don't have periods. Is that an option?
